The Chinese contingent sent over at Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal carried with it a blunt statement that China is ready for war. This contingent is clearly an invasion force, situated at a mere 200 kilometers away from the shores of Pangasinan.
Make no mistake, China is bullying us, its territorial claim to pieces of rock and corals some 1200 kilometers away from China is a sad joke that should not make us laugh nor cower into a corner.
Should we do nothing to avoid bloodshed, let life continue as normal? Or die with honor fighting for what is ours.
The Katipuneros had bolos and bamboo spears against the Spanish cannons and muskets. Lapulapu had a kampilan, bows and arrows against the firepower of the Spanish conquistadores.
What have you to say my dear Istoryans?
If you ask me, I am for war.
